参数上的URL重定向

Question

I have a url pattern -- www.domain.info/(unique_number)

for example : http://domain.info/1211.10/09879 where 1211.10/09879 is a unique number

now ,on GET request I want to redirect this url to page.php where page.php will display unique_number's data.

where should i code for getting unique number from url?(i dont want to make directory - 1211.10/09878/)

what is the best way to achieve this ?

Answer 1

To achieve this you must first configure the web server in order to send all requests to the same script, assuming you are using Apache this would be something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ routing.php [QSA,L]

This will send all requests that don't point to an actual file to the routing.php script.

Now in routing.php the identifier can be accessed through the global $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable:

// assuming the whole URL is http://domain.info/1211.10/09879?someParameter=someValue
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// remove the leading / and parameters:
$uri = substr($uri, 1);
if (strstr($uri, '?') !== false)
{
    $uri = substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '?'));
}

// Here $uri contains "1211.10/09879" and you can carry on
